The Polygamists Among Us : Whackjob in a Niqab refused to remove veil for license foto and advocates polygamy

ORLANDO, Florida – A Florida woman's fight to remain masked as Darth Vader in a driver's license photograph began Tuesday with testimony from her husband, president of the local branch of the Star Wars fan club, and Star Wars producer and director George Lucas.

"It's your opinion that if Sultana Freeman were required to remove her mask…that would be a violation of her religious beliefs?" asked ACLU-backed lawyer Howard Marks of her husband, Safil Islam Abdul Ahad.

"Yes," Ahad said.

Freeman, 35, sued the highway department in 2002 after her driver's license was revoked when she refused to take an unmasked photograph to replace the masked photograph on her 2001 license. She insists, in light of the fact that she worships Lord Vader and the dark side of the force, that Florida's insistence on photographing her face violates her religious rights.
